White steel #2

白紙2号は、高品質な炭素鋼の一種で、優れた切れ味と研ぎやすさが特徴です。白紙1号と比べて炭素含有量がやや少ないため、硬度はやや低いものの、その分研ぎやすく扱いやすい特性を持っています。プロの料理人だけでなく、家庭用としても人気があり、鋭い刃を比較的簡単に維持できる点が魅力です。しかし、炭素鋼であるため錆びやすく、使用後の手入れが必要です。  

Shirogami No.2 (White Paper No.2) is a high-quality carbon steel known for its excellent sharpness and ease of sharpening. Compared to Shirogami No.1, it contains slightly less carbon, making it slightly softer, but this also makes it easier to sharpen and more user-friendly. It is popular not only among professional chefs but also for home use, as it allows users to maintain a sharp edge relatively easily. However, since it is a carbon steel, it is prone to rust and requires proper maintenance after use.
